    Conservatism is a plague of violence, oppression and death. It always has been.

    History has shown that conservatism cannot be defeated by pacifism. Conservatives see pacifism as an invitation to attack. Always be prepared to respond to a conservative assault.

    Teach your children why we don’t do business with or keep relationships with conservatives. Together we can marginalize hate by marginalizing haters.

    The suspect was also killed by police shortly after…

    Can’t say I feel bad for him, but I’m guessing his death is cold comfort to the family & friends of the victim.

    A suspect - who fled the scene on foot - was killed by police when found nearby, allegedly still armed.

    Police did their job.

      It’s literally not their job, but this time I don’t care. Something something broken clock something.

        If you shoot every single suspect you encounter, it’s only a matter of time until you shoot someone who deserves it.

      The crime was heinous, but the police are supposed to apprehend the suspect. With qualified immunity and unchecked police violence it’s getting a bit Judge Dredd in some places.

      Hopefully there is some evidence the armed person who was killed was infact the person who committed this crime.

        Thank you for being the solitary voice of reason in this thread. I cannot believe all the people saying “good they got him!” without a second thought about how summary gun justice by the fucking cops is not something we want.

    I had a sign in my yard that said “protect trans kids”

    After 4 months of it being in my yard, someone stole it and dumped trash in my yard.

    I wanna get a new sign, but I’m afraid I’ll get worse treatment than before.

        If you get video of someone doing it, the police won’t want to look at it though. Video of someone doing stuff might be used in civil court if you know who it is and you sue. Mostly you’ll just get to watch someone vandalize your property and get angrier.

        I do need to get cameras for multiple reasons. I can’t get a bigger sign, unfortunately. The organization only has them in one size. I am going to get a bunch and just have a stockpile to replace them immediately.

      And every day they say “Bappity, You’re welcome, but please stop calling and texting us so often. We’re busy. A weekly or even monthly thanks would be plenty.”
